Affordable Screen and Patio Enclosures made our wish come true, something we thought was out of reach. After meeting with several contractors--so many design options, techo-features, price tiers to choose from--we sat down out on our deck with Dave Maloney and knew Affordable was our choice. It wasn't because of price, folksy sales-speak, flashy literature, big promises. It was because our gut told us: integrity, commitment to quality. That was our introduction. With each subsequent interaction, whether it was Affordable's Jen on the phone answering our questions, in-person with Dave at the Kenosha showroom, emails and banter with installation crew led by Eric and Dan on-site, every exchange reinforced that these people know their stuff. Any job is going to have its peculiarities and ours was no exception. When a hiccup arose with code, Affordable quickly resolved the matter. When something unexpected arose with the deck foundation, a creative solution was deployed and work continued uninterrupted. There may have been other wrinkles along the way, things homeowners are blind to, but this team is proactive and delivered to us a living space that feeds our soul after a long day at work. The crew was professional, friendly, respectful of our property--and our neighbor's. I've already recommended Affordable Screen and Patio enclosures to two people and will continue to sing their praises. Integrity. Commitment to quality. Thank you, Dave, Jen and team!

Called the company to replace a damaged screen door to a screened in porch that the company…read moreinstalled 5 years ago. Took a week to receive information back from the company. To replace the door they quoted $1,000.00. Ask for detailed information but wouldn't provide. My spouse called Dave but was very rude and hung up on my spouse. Called again and Dave stated that he was originally going to quote $1400.00 to replace the door but was giving us a deal. Asked more questions but Dave was rude again and hung up on my spouse. So looking for the door at Menards, The door cost was $309.00 less 11% rebate. Took me an hour and 15 minutes to replace. So Dave was going to charge us almost $700.00 to install a like door. Talk about taking advantage of a customer. It would have been over $1,000.00 if he did the originals price. I would be doing business with someone else, one that does gouge the customer. Poor attitude and customer service!

This experience was great from beginning to end! Joe, from Shading Solutions contacted me, we made…read morean appointment. He was accommodating with my schedule and showed up on time- actually early! We talked, he shared the history of the company (30 yrs in business, I remember correctly) and reviewed what we were hoping to replace- he showed me what Shading Solutions could do- measured, twice, and we were on our way. The date he told me to anticipate our awnings should be delivered and one week before, contacted me to say we are on schedule! The awnings were delivered and we set a date for installation. The day before, Kurt Lamothe, the installer, came to look at the awnings and to check out the job site, impressive! Not waiting for 'day of ' - being proactive shows professionalism ~ so appreciated in this day! The installers show up, again, professional and friendly and EARLY! Again, I was impressed because as they're installing, Joe, my sales guy, shows up just to make sure all is going well and that I was satisfied. He even texted me after to say there is a windy storm rolling in so make sure to roll up the awnings as they were just installed. The guys picked up all the wrappings and left not one piece behind. Oh- and the price was fair, no hard sell or upsell. Will post pics later ~ but we are VERY satisfied to find a company and people who are professional and are great at their jobs! Thanks Joe, Kurt, Kurt Jr and Cliff (?) I apologize if I got the name wrong!

I'm extremely disappointed with how OnDeck handled an issue with our ScreenEZE installation. The…read moreinstallation crew themselves were very nice and professional, which makes the way the situation was handled afterward even more frustrating. We have a mid-century modern home with a very specific exterior aesthetic. One of the defining characteristics of the house is the clean, minimal exterior detailing, and we have been very intentional about keeping window and trim elements flush and visually unobtrusive. OnDeck installed the ScreenEZE system using an exterior corner-mount method that left a substantial amount of dark metal visible around our white openings. At no point during the sales process was I told that OnDeck only installs the system this way, nor was I told that there were different manufacturer-approved mounting options that would create very different finished appearances. During the installation, I was surprised by how much visible metal there was, but I assumed that once everything was complete it would look more like the clean installations shown in ScreenEZE's own marketing materials. I did not realize there was another mounting method that could have substantially reduced the exterior metal because that option had never been discussed with me. I only became aware of the inside/flush-mount option after the project was essentially complete, when I received the installation instructions from OnDeck. Those instructions clearly showed more than one installation approach. When I raised the issue, the initial response was not simply, "We prefer another method." I was first told that I was confusing my installation with a different product/system used for other applications, including arched openings, and that I had not purchased the product I was referring to. I was the one who had to point out that the inside-mount option I was asking about was shown in the installation instructions OnDeck itself had given me at the end of the project. I then contacted ScreenEZE directly to understand what was actually possible. ScreenEZE told me that, when installed correctly and in the appropriate application, flush mounting is a manufacturer-approved method, is covered under their 10-year warranty, and is considered just as reliable and durable as a corner mount. After I brought that information back to OnDeck, their position became that flush mounting is simply not a method they choose to perform because they believe their corner-mount method is superior. That is a perfectly reasonable company preference -- but it should have been disclosed before I hired them. Had I been told, "We only install ScreenEZE using an exterior corner mount, and we do not offer the inside/flush-mounted option," I would have immediately discussed whether that approach aligned with the architecture of my home. If it didn't, I would have hired a different installer. I was never given that opportunity. My first conversation with Phil after raising the concern was extremely defensive. At one point I had to tell him that I did not appreciate being spoken to as though I were a "dumb housewife." The conversation felt dismissive rather than solution-oriented, which was especially disappointing because I was genuinely trying to understand what had happened and how we might fix it. OnDeck also told my contractor that correcting the installation would essentially require replacing everything. Since they were unwilling to offer a workable solution, I contacted another local screen contractor. That contractor was able to reuse the existing metal, replace only the screen material, and move the entire installation inside the openings with two installers in one day. The cost to me was an additional $2,800. I asked that $2,000 be held back from OnDeck's final payment to account for part of the additional cost I had to incur to achieve the installation I originally expected. Rather than having a meaningful discussion about a compromise, I received a notice of lien for the $2,000. What makes this especially disappointing is that I understand what it means to run a small, family-owned business. I run businesses myself, and I know how important trust, communication, customer service, and your word are to building a reputation. Mistakes and communication breakdowns happen. What matters is how a company responds when a customer raises a legitimate concern. I was completely willing to work toward a fair middle ground. Instead, I felt dismissed, given conflicting information, and ultimately forced to find and pay another contractor to solve a problem that could have been avoided entirely with one conversation before installation. My issue is not that OnDeck prefers the corner-mount method. My issue is that this preference materially affected the appearance of my home and was never disclosed before the work was done. Unfortunately, based on how this was handled after the installation, I would not recommend OnDeck.

The summer of 2025 , Andrew at Archadeck came out to our home to review our desire to remove our 25…read morex 25' deck and switch to a patio over the coming winter and spring. We weren't exactly sure what we wanted. He asked questions such as color choice, whether we were open to certain shapes, what accessories we were thinking about, such as natural fireplace, gas, fireplace, pergola, and a bunch of other stuff. A week or so later, he showed us drawings of several ideas for our space along with sample pictures and materials from job jobs. He had done previously. He quoted prices for the various options, and we all decided to go bigger than originally thought. We chose to skip the pergola, go big on the gas fireplace and settled on an awesome, shapely layout with an interesting pallet of materials that were exactly right for our home. They took care of permitting, inspectors, Julie, everything. The price seemed expensive until I saw them do the work. They worked in between frost and snowfall, holidays and beyond. Every one of their crew are super nice, wear multiple hats and work so very hard. We underestimated the amount of work that was required. These guys were amazing. Well, patio Season is finally here and we couldn't be more thrilled! After a bunch of other of life's distractions, we are so enjoying our patio of perfection! These guys are meticulous. At the end, they leveled all surrounding affected landscape and receded. Everything all the way back to the street and it came in beautifully. Thank you, Andrew and Archadeck!
